Blake Corum's 2026 Role Appears Secured

Sunday, April 26, 6:01 AM

For the first time since 2016, the Los Angeles Rams did not add to the running back position through the NFL draft, and Blake Corum's place on the depth chart appears to be secured heading into his third professional season. A 2024 third-round pick, Corum came into his own in year two, rushing for 746 yards and six scores while averaging more than five yards per carry. With the room looking identical to the one from last year, 2025 fourth-round pick Jarquez Hunter could be in line for his own sophomore season bump after only seeing the field on special teams plays as a rookie, but with the Rams showing an eagerness to keep Kyren Williams fresh, Corum's role still has room for expansion. Corum averaged 10.5 carries per game from Week 7 through the end of the year, and he was the RB15 over the final five weeks of the fantasy season. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB32, he is one of the league's most valuable insurance backs, but he should also maintain his own standalone worth in a high-powered Rams offense.

Jonathon Brooks News

Jonathon Brooks Fully Cleared for Offseason Program

Tuesday, April 28, 7:40 PM

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (knee) said he's been fully cleared by his surgeon to take part in the team's offseason program and feels "close to 100 percent," according to Joe Person of The Athletic. Brooks is returning from a second ACL surgery on his right knee and could have a pretty decent role in the Panthers' backfield in 2026 behind Chuba Hubbard if he can stay healthy. The 22-year-old was a second-round selection in 2024 out of the University of Texas, but he has only played in three games and has had nine carries for 22 yards since being drafted by Carolina due to continued knee issues. Rico Dowdle departed in free agency to look for a bigger role elsewhere, which leaves Brooks to compete primarily with AJ Dillon for RB2 duties behind Hubbard. Brooks will most likely go undrafted in most single-year leagues later this year, but in dynasty/keeper formats, he might be a savvy buy-low candidate for RB depth.
